The detectorist who found this dropped into my museum a few years ago and was telling me the story of the complications that ensue when a landowner dies when the acquisition process is going through...
Oh, how interesting — presumably makes any agreements null? Or not?
As far as I remember the original landowner passed away while the agreement about payment was going through, and there was a delay while probate was happening and a new agreement made with the heir.
Probable burial: are you suggesting that Queen Wisigard may be a vampire? :-D
Haha! :-D
Is that from Gondor or Rohan, Umbar even ???!!
